Inspired by the annual Fallout meetup aka Fallout Fan Celebration, the NES Super Dodgeball game, and extraction and battle royale games, introducing a new annual meetup proposal.
The NES Super Dodgeball game features a beanball, aka Last Player Standing mode, which is similar to a battle royale game, played in an open area with one ball, and with every player for themselves. Catches don't bring a player back in. Our meetup can focus on being a fun and recreational event, also offering something for competitive players or spectators, as well as an e-sports division to help fit the gaming theme.
Another division of events to make our meetup unique can be a version of dodgeball inspired by extraction games. Sample rules of Extraction Dodgeball (name TBD) - Ball Types:
Blue - Each team starts with 1. This ball can be used to eliminate other players, or to block other throws.
The following ball types can't be used to throw or block, and must be taken across a goal line without getting hit by a blue ball to score points -
Green - 5 points
Purple - 4 points
Orange - 3 points
Yellow - 2 points
Red - 1 point
World Battle Royale Dodgeball Series / World Extraction Dodgeball Series - I first began playing dodgeball in my first year of high school in 2001, unaware of any competitive existence of the sport, 12 years later I was selected to represent my country, and I gained experience across 7 countries. I want to help give others the opportunity to experience the pleasure of representing your country in sport, so we can also include a biannual world series for our meetup.
Dates / Location: Dates are TBD but for location, as a way to try to give everyone a chance to be part of this new annual meetup inspired by the annual Fallout Fan Celebration, we can try to host this event in every country with enough people wanting to participate, and then selecting the top players from each country to represent their country at the biannual battle royale and extraction dodgeball series.
You can help shape the future of this new annual meetup. Are you interested to be a representative of your country for the meetup? If yes, what's your favorite battle royale or extraction games, and what country do you represent? See you on the battle royale and extraction dodgeball courts!
